I am Kelsey Maher, and I am a junior at Boston College. My fall semester of my sophomore year I enrolled in the BI481 course ‘Introduction to Neuroscience’, taught by Dr. Joseph Burdo. To facilitate a semester-long project, Dr. Burdo divided our class into groups and asked us to choose a ‘stub’ article on Wikipedia relating to neuroscience. It is the hope of my group – Wesley Mather, Alex Gallagher, Michael Zhang, and myself – to bring our chosen article up to the standard of Wikipedia’s Good Article, and transform it into a helpful, informative resource.

Our group proposal for our chosen topic, neurogenetics, can be found here.

Currently, I am enrolled in BI432 Developmental Biology with Dr. Laura Hake, constructing a similar project with Daniel Fernandez and Ryan Dikdan.

Our group proposal for our chosen topic, the neural fold, can be found here.
